History
editUnder the Soviet Union
editDuring World War II, the settlement came under German occupation. The local Jewish population was either forced to flee, or massacred by the invading forces.[2] After the end of the war and the ethnic cleansing of the local Jewish and Crimean Tatar population by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union respectively, Lomonosove was settled by Ukrainians and Russian working immigrants from the Tambov Oblast. [3]
In independent Ukraine
editAfter the collapse of the Soviet Union, the local Crimean Tatar population of Lomonosove saw rapid growth, as most of the surviving population returned to Crimea.[citation needed]
In 2014, in violation of international law, Russia invaded and occupied Crimea. After conducting what was vastly considered to be a sham referendum, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was incorporated by Russian Federation as the Republic of Crimea.[4]
Geography
editLomonosove is located on the right bank of the Salhyr river in the eastern part of the Crimean peninsula. The village features a hot-summer humid continental climate (Köppen classification Dfa), which borders on a humid subtropical climate (Köppen classification Cfa). Summers are hot, while winters are cool and dry. Cold snaps are not uncommon due to the absence of high mountains, which would protect the area from cold air coming from the north.[citation needed]
Demographics
editAs of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the settlement had a population of 747. The majority of the population is ethnic Ukrainian, while Crimean Tatars and Russians make up the largest minorities in the settlement. Lomonosove is lingualistically diverse, with most of the popuation being Ukrainophone.[citation needed]
